So you have a iPhone 3g... Happy? Not Happy?

[Libuff]

well i had a VERY long day at work saturday.. i forced it into 2g for most of the day, and when i was near the end of my day with like 90% bat life, i allowed 3g to exist..

i will be going all day today in 3g (no work), but tomorrow when im in/out of hospitals, i will see what it does...

i fell like i need a good case... otterbox doesn't seem like an option after looking at the 2g iphone case from them... i purchased 2 cases from the apple store and will try both to see which i like better.

I love it! Like everything it has it's pros and cons but so far it's been pretty good! I love the new design: how it's thinner and it feels great in the hands! The color of the screen is vibrant and the colors just pop! The App store is amazing! I downloaded the eBay App for my business and couldn't be happier. Also I love the new travel charger, it's way more compact.

Despite all the things I like about it, there are a few things that I didn't like:

I noticed the screen is kinda yellow. The other day I was taking pictures of my fiance's Golden Retrievers. One of them is a medium brown color. And when I was taking the picture I noticed that he looked orange.

3G drains battery really fast. So what I did was turned it off and used EDGE.
What I'm going to do is turn 3G on when I really need it.

But other than those two things. It's a really great phone!

Anybody know how/if you can access google maps from an address entered within a calendar entry without have to retype the whole address into google maps?

You have to add the address to the phonebook. Then press the book in the typing field.

Maybe this helped?!

hello all. I am apearently new to the iphone and this blog and for a newbie I am loving the this "mini pocket browser/gaming" device. I have had much experiences with other phone like the bb and bj, this is somthing to have. I live in the country and this comes in handy about 75% of my daily life. I am aculy typing this post on the iPhone ATM. Of course all of what yall have mentioned is everything I enjoy about this iPhone.




However there are see other features I miss or am needing to complete this. Apeartnly there is no tjeathering as to I will b needing due to the "no DSL. Cable. Sattelite" services. Hess it does suck being out there. Well the phone does not also have any app or browser to download videos/music off web pages.

But in other terms this phone is great. I can't wait unti apple brings out the "true" qwerty keyboard. And also as technology of the os improves

First of all, the iPhone 3G hands down is the best phone. Yes, it's missing some features but for me I don't need those features and can careless about them.

Pros:

- I get good 3G speeds in SoCal 400+ kbps
- Another great Apple product design, the phone is just sexy
- GPS works better than I expected
- 2.0 software & the App store is awesome

Cons:

- Battery life really is poor on 3G so I leave it off until I really need it. Edge works fairly well in my area 130 kbps so it's not that bad.
- My iPhone has 2 dead pixels right now, so until i get my new one tomorrow that is a con.

The pros out weights the cons so this is one of my favorite devices. I will never go back to a regular smartphone or WM again.

So far coming from a blackberry pearl on verizon...

Likes:
The interface, the gps, web browsing, mobileme, the interface

Dislikes:
Lack of push support for Gmail, some apps are a little buggy/not working. I suspect this will be fixed over the next few days as things get sorted out.

I think for what we pay for iphone and the service, mobileme functionality should be included free. The "cloud" shouldn't cost extra.

No 3G in my area, so EDGE which is much slower than the EVDO on my old phone.

I hope the guys over at Crackberry don't give you a hard time...

Oh no, they are all cool with it. Well at least my fellow mods don't seem to mind. I am not the only mod who switched to iPhone. Heck, even Kevin has one in addition to his BB.

I think Mophie will do some brisk business with their Juicepacks for the battery life issue, but on the whole I'm pretty damned happy with it. Between the Apps, 3G, and GPS, I'm satisfied.

Goodbye Treo 700p!

My understanding is that only a million of us got one and the rest of us are not happy.
